Where the processing is based on Foncal’s legitimate interest, such interest consists of being able to develop, maintain and improve its commercial activity and its relationship with its customers, without this disproportionately affecting your rights and freedoms as a data subject, in particular your right to the protection of personal data.

Where the processing is based on your consent, you may withdraw it at any time, without this affecting the lawfulness of the processing carried out prior to its withdrawal, by contacting Foncal at the following email address: administracion@foncal.es

  • Data on tastes, preferences and consumption habits relating to our products and services.

How long will Foncal retain your personal data? Retention

Depending on the type of data used and processed:

  • Sale and/or service contract. We will process your personal data for the time necessary to manage the purchase of the products or services, including the processing of orders and any returns, complaints or claims relating to the specific purchase.

  • Customer service. We will process your personal data for the time necessary to handle your request, claim, complaint or any other petition made to this company.
  • Marketing. We will process your personal data for as long as you remain subscribed to the newsletter.

  • Other cases. We will process your personal data for the time strictly necessary to pursue a duly justified legitimate interest linked to a specific purpose.

In any event, once the relationship with the user has ended, Foncal will retain the data, duly blocked, for the limitation periods of any legal obligations that may arise from the processing.

To whom will we disclose your data? Recipients

As a general rule, we will not disclose your personal data to third parties unless we are required to do so by law or you have given your unequivocal, clear and express consent. Nor will there be any international transfers of data.

In any event, Foncal may disclose or transfer data to:

  • Financial institutions, for the management of collections, payments and refunds.
  • Entities specialising in fraud detection and prevention.

Likewise, data may be disclosed to manufacturers and or to their national representatives where necessary for the management and coverage of the warranties of the products manufactured.

In the event of non-payment, data may be disclosed to common credit information systems or financial solvency files, under the terms provided for in the legislation in force.

Finally, data may be disclosed to any other entity where such disclosure is mandatory or covered by the legislation applicable at any given time.

What are your rights when you provide us with your personal data? Where can you exercise them? Rights

Any customer has the right to obtain confirmation as to whether or not Foncal is processing personal data concerning them.

Data subjects have the right to access their personal data, as well as to request the rectification of inaccurate data or, where applicable, to request its erasure where, among other reasons, the data are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected.

In certain circumstances, data subjects may request the restriction of the processing of their data, in which case we will retain it solely for the exercise or defence of claims.

You may request the restriction of processing in the following cases:

  • While the contested accuracy of your data is being verified.
  • Where the processing is unlawful but you oppose the erasure of the data.
  • Where Foncal no longer needs to process your data but you need them for the exercise or defence of your claims.
  • Where you have objected to the processing of your data for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or for the purposes of a legitimate interest, while it is being verified whether the legitimate grounds for the processing override yours.
  • In certain circumstances and on grounds relating to their particular situation, data subjects may object to the processing of their data.
  • Foncal will stop processing the data, except for legitimate reasons or the exercise or defence of possible claims.

We draw your attention to your right to withdraw, at any time, the consent given for the processing of your data, without this affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

Finally, as required by law, we remind you of your right to lodge a complaint with the Spanish Data Protection Agency (AEPD) (https://www.aepd.es/) if you consider that the processing of data does not comply with European legislation.

  • You may exercise your rights, providing proof of your identity (photocopy of your DNI, the Spanish national identity document), by sending an email to: administracion@foncal.es. You may withdraw the consent given at any time, without this affecting the lawfulness of the processing, by sending your request to the aforementioned address or by visiting Foncal’s premises. Please remember to enclose your DNI or an equivalent document proving your identity with your request.
  • The exercise of these rights is free of charge.
